The KwaZulu-Natal Blind and Deaf Society (KZNBDS) is celebrating 90 years of empowering persons with disabilities and creating opportunities for independence and inclusion.
Founded on October 24, 1936, by Constance Cawston as the Natal Society for Bantu and Indian Blind, the organisation was established to provide dignity, education and hope for blind people.
Over the years, it expanded its services to include deaf and hard of hearing individuals and, in 1995, became the KwaZulu-Natal Blind and Deaf Society.
